The process of bringing concerns to the room and taking the time to look, study and explore individual needs and strengths begins the journey to self acceptance.

“Having worked as a school social worker for 20+ years I have learned that patience and a sense of humor work miracles when standing knee-deep in the middle of children and adolescents searching for their authentic self. And that holds true with adults as well. No matter the age of my client nor the reason that brings them to my office, I want to be clear that this is a team approach. That having a neutral party to speak with; someone who will not judge but someone you can share your concerns and issues with can make all of the difference in the world.
